Well Agno i dont think so child marriages can be justified by atleast religiouse figures by this interpretation.

1. In Islam a girl can only be married if she has reached Puberty and it is also scientifically proven that when gal reaches that age she can bear kids right??

So there is no question of childhood in that case no matter if the girl is 10years old or 15 if she reached that age she is marriagble.

Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three- Stanley Wolpert
